Overview
Reutte is the commercial centre of the Außerfern, a picturesque market town nestled in the Lech River valley between the Lechtaler Alps and the Bavarian border. The town offers a slower pace than major Alpine tourist hubs, with medieval fortifications, scenic hiking trails, and easy access to the famous Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles in nearby Füssen.
